Emerson Opens $30 Million Global Innovation Center

Emerson Process Management today announced the opening of
the state-of-the-art Emerson Innovation Center – Fisher® Technology in
Marshalltown, Iowa. This $30 million investment is designed to help customers
tackle the toughest engineering challenges facing today’s process manufacturing
and energy industries.

The world’s appetite for energy is driving the
development of next-generation nuclear plants, mega-train liquefied natural gas
(LNG) plants, and large oil and gas refineries, which require larger capacities
and highly engineered control valves and instrumentation. The 136,000-square-foot
Emerson Innovation Center is designed to help companies deliver record volumes
of natural gas and other forms of energy and consume less in the process,
reducing costs and making plants run quieter and with reduced greenhouse
emissions.

The center is home to the world’s largest "flow lab”
that, for the first time, enables large valves to be tested in real-world plant
conditions to ensure production reliability, efficiency, environmental
compliance, and safety before being installed at a customer site. More…
